Ecrits sur l'art de Diderot à Proust

Écrits sur l'art de Diderot à Proust brings together a wide range of writings on art: aesthetics, philosophy, art history, and texts by painters and writers. This diversity of writings allows the user to investigate the links between painting and writing from different points of view. The texts here also span a period of nearly two centuries, beginning with Père André’s L’Essai sur le beau from 1741, six years before the first salon, and ending with the last volume of Proust’s À la recherche du temps perdu from 1927.
